Breakfast was good but overpriced. I didn't expect any more for the price. Good place to stay, but there was no elevator; I was alone and had to carry my luggage to the 3rd floor. The fridge in our room was in the bathroom. Good airport shuttle service. If you just need overnight accommodations before a morning flight, stay here and avoid the high cost of shuttling into Waikiki.

The hotel room was small; definitely just a place to sleep and shower. No microwave or lounging chairs; just 2 beds and a desk with a chair. The staff was friendly and helpful, and it was an 8-minute shuttle ride to the airport. The Barbers Point tale first emerged from vintage Pacific lore, when a vicious tropical depression battered the southwest coastline of Oahu.

Captain Henry Barber, determined to get underway despite the storm, hoisted anchor on his foot brig Arthur on October 31, All other captains held their ships in port while Arthur was deluged by wind, rain and pounding surf.

The ship went down taking with it all but six crewmembers and its captain. The seven survivors struggled ashore near a tract of land referred to by native Hawaiians as "Kalaeloa" long cape or headland , a legendary birthplace of Hawaiian Kings. Kalaeloa later became known as Barbers Point.

This tract was to be used as a mooring location for the dirigible, Akron. During the s the Navy leased a section of the James Campbell estate, building a 1,foot outlying field OLF near the mooring mast that had been erected for use by US Navy airships, none of which ever cruised to Hawaii.

The site, chosen for its ideal peacetime air training atmosphere, was completed in early The efficient rendering of his duties under all these conditions by keeper Amalu is worthy of the highest praise.

Sweeney observed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on December 7, and a few days later wrote the following letter describing events at the station.

At a. Dog fighting continued for twenty minutes, bullets hitting the ground in bursts. Then all planes headed south, our planes chasing them. Seemed to have come from the windward side, and left the Island on Barbers Point side. Two parachutists were dropped close to the station; they were confused in the kiawi trees and prowled around the station all Sunday night, the Fort Kam. One was wounded, and was later found on the beach, buried by his mate. His feet were sticking out of the sand. The other was later shot by an officer.

Monday night was bad; the boys were nervous and had to go with them to the top of the tower two times. First they thought a green light was on top of the tower. It proved to be the reflection of the moon on the glass. The next time they thought parachutists were on top of the tower. It proved to be nothing. They escorted me to the house and warned me not to go outside as they would shoot at anything.

When we got the word that the two Japs were located, we felt easy, and Tuesday night was the first night anybody slept. Keeper Robins had three stints of service at the lighthouse. After enduring two years of isolation at the lighthouse, the young Robins quit to join the Merchant Marines.

However, in he rejoined the Lighthouse Service and was again assigned to Barbers Point. As the nearest neighbors were miles away, the Halloween tradition of trick or treating was modified at the lighthouse.

The children, dressed in their ghoulish costumes, would climb the spiral staircase in the light tower where a ghost would provide them treats in the lantern room.

Finally, the children raced around to the front door of the dwelling where they were invited in for cookies and milk. The lantern room was likely removed from the Barbers Point Lighthouse when it was automated. Robins, Sr.
